you have no idea how badly I wish I had been alive to see this game....

[@graemebdh2172]

I was privileged to be at this game. The greatest grand final ever maybe. As a young Collingwood fan I was in the lower deck of the Northern Stand. At the end of the game we Magpie fans just stood there stunned. Too overcome to move. What had we just witnessed... a miracle pulled off by the great Barassi. Sadly for them, many Carlton fans had left at half time.

Interesting who was your favorite player at the time and was the crowd the loudest you've heard?

[@Borella309]

Real fans don't leave until after the final siren - regardless of the score.

@J GIn the 1970s Idiots like you were saying soccer will be number 1 in australia in 10 years time???? So what happened???? Its 2022 and still nobody goes to watch it here.

Definitely a DEFINING MOMENT and huge milestone for the CFC. Part of Carlton folk lore. We have a gun coach and fantastic players to go forward and make more history. #BELIEVE

The greatest come back in a grand final. We steamrolled them in the end thanks to the great man Ron Barassi!

West Coast coming back against Collingwood in 2018 was a great comeback too. Collingwood have copped a few.

50 Years Ago Today This Grand Final took place Probably the most famous Ever Biggest Comeback in a Grand Final! Collingwood Should have been 10 or 12 goals up at half time but for poor kicking it gave Carlton a sniff and Boy They Took It The Rest As they say is History!🙂🎽👟👟🏉🏟️🇦🇺

As fast & more skillful than today’s sanitized game. Barassi started the play on game. He went to school with my late uncle in Castlemaine 👍🏻
